The method for iOS 5 and later on this page looks good: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7015842/how-to-prompt-user-for-text-input-in-alert-view
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Password" message:@"Enter your password:" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"Ok", nil]; alertView.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput; UITextField *passwordTextField = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0]; [alertView show]; in the above case they're prompting for a password, I don't need the secure input as it is just a filename.
